FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich had a meeting with the representatives of the United States Chess Federation in Washington on February 20. During the meeting they discussed the development of chess both in the US and in the world. “The USCF is a very active federation, it pays much attention to young players and it was very interesting to work with colleagues. There are many strong American chess players, who are fighting for the chess crown in the strongest chess tournaments. Fabiano Caruana lost to Magnus Carlsen in the World Championship Match, but nevertheless there is a whole generation of chess players who are now involved in this fight”, commented Arkady Dvorkovich.
